Pros

Non management are mostly ok folks, but take too much abuse and ill treatment. Enhancements for some job roles for out of hours/weekends. Lots and lots of overtime due sickness/absence/bad rota planning but advised to note down every hour and triple check every payslip due constant errors (underpay) in wages/overtime.

Cons

Unprofessional, rude management, too many chiefs upon chiefs earning big cash for doing nothing but act important. No development opportunities, only if you're a relative of someone or friends with some supervisor or manager or comply and let them get away with murder. Very suspicious way of notoriously and consequently not paying staff correct wages/mistakes in overtime pay are a normal thing, wages vary not according to job role/skills. Finance department is a joke, management abusive to staff and everything takes endlessly long, lots of nodding heads and affirmative nonsense without any results, disastrous organisation of shifts/rotas.

Pros

Generally the teams on the ground are great and people work really hard Nice office if you work at Canary Wharf Can work from home a day a week Products and services are interesting, particularly Energy Solutions

Cons

Too much change for people to handle Conflicting priorities; everything is urgent and must be done NOW Command and conquer management style - don't think for yourself, just do as you are told If you try to show initiative some will consider you a threat Everyone is too busy to improve and change The culture of the different divisions is still very disparate. People still consider themselves from 'International Power' or 'Balfour Beatty Workplace' or 'Cofely'. Culture of covering ones backside means that lots of rework happens to protect your own department. No trust across divisions
